AI is inseparable from water usage and anyone who tries to ask about a hypothetical future where it doesn't use up gallons of water with every query is living in denial

They're wearing vibrant blue lingerie, their hair is a vibrant pink color done up in Bantu knots. They have visible stretch-marks, body hair, freckles and bushy eyebrows and their skin is of a light brown. They're wearing pink nail polish and a dark blue lipstick. The background have pink roses blooming up from behind them against a light blue background.

An illustration of a hippo flying in the sky with their goddess friend. The hippo is decorated with golden jewellery. The goddess who is black, is wearing a soft green dress with a pink shawl, she's barefooted and wears golden jewellery. Her hair is silver and has been done up in loads of buns, decorated in a golden thread. She's holding a golden spear and it looks like their are both off to battle. The background is a vibrant blue with soft pink clouds passing them by. You can see several detailed stars dotted around the background.

An illustration of a Black skater wearing green quad skates, a green dress, a fluffy orange fur coat, and green braids done up in a high ponytail. She's wearing sunglasses and a yellow lipstick, looking joyful while souring through a vibrant orange sky

An illustration: A plus size Black woman is floating in the sky in an elegant way. She has pink cloud shaped hair. A glowing star hovers just above her left hand, which she's reached out while her right hand touches her chest gently. She wears a black glittery dress that's pink underneath. Countless of stars adorn her hair and clothes. She's smiling with her eyes closed.

These dancers are a common sight at Minneapolis protests and cultural events. Protesters are gathered around as they wait for the protest against ICE to start in south Minneapolis.

This is so real, they tried it this morning in Bloomington. They stopped a man, people started honking horns, they split up to fuck with everyone else, which brought more attention and more noise, people got out of their cars and started filming, they left. They're cowards.

functional moron @fiveburger.bsky.social · 20d

obviously not in the sense that it’s stopping everything, but they are being stalled so much by trying to find places where they aren’t watched, wasting so much manpower and resources on crowd control and even arresting observers they know will just get released. i am so proud of everyone

Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.

Matt DeLong @mattdelong.bsky.social · 21d

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter in a suit against a background of swirling red, gray and black lines. His judgment chain is hanging from his right hand. He is lit from below with a red glow. Behind him but in front of the background is a set of chains shaped like an hourglass, and circles bordering the shape which resemble the scarlet eyes.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

oldhead advice from an oldhead.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"

and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work

gotta build for long term

@robinkelly.house.gov

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

The best season for sleeping. 🌨️

A pale yellow dog is asleep on a yellow couch with only their head resting on the arm next to a quilt. There's a lamp on a wood side table to the left casting warm light. Behind is a window showing snow on trees and a grey sky. The room is a warm brown.

"joy is an act of resistance" is not praxis and while im a firm believer that art is good for the soul even during hard times, you have got to be fucking real for a second and realize that drawing pictures is not gonna help someone who is being bombed by the US government

fwiw, I think the best way to think of this is not really as "trump is the worst ever" so much as "trump takes all the worst aspects of american history and speed runs them all at once"

David Rothkopf @djrothkopf.bsky.social · 28d

Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.

So fun fact, I do these zodiac illustrations every year and usually use the Pantone colors for each year just cause it's kind of a fun color scheme prompt

But Pantone has picked incredibly boring colors for like three years in a row so I'm breaking up with them till further notice 😔

A horse with a lit sparkler in its mouth running through a field of grass with fireworks lighting the night sky behind them. The fireworks are red, orange, and yellow, and one set of fireworks is in the shape of the number 2026.

He is also wearing black sweatpants that is tighten at his hip with a red thick thread. There is a few bandages on his arms.

On the bottom left Spike is looking down at Faye Valentine wrapped in a green robe, who appears confused as much as he is. A crumpled cigarette is stuck between his lips. His hands are wrapped into gentle fists as they rests against his hips. he wears a dark blue suit with a unique yellow shirt underneath, and a loose tie.

The top right image features Spike sitting crosslegged and arms folded. His shirtless but there are bandages covering his torso, part of his shoulder, and arms. His eyes are closed as he has a look of annoyance on his face. His pants are dark blue.

Above the angel is two teal birds under a star. Underneath the angel reads "Good Tidings". The angel and birds are surrounded by frames made up of pink ribbons, greenery, and mistletoe.
